Top 100 Summer Comics #42

For some reason, a sure fire way for me to do a double take at the comic rack was to have the name of the comic scribbled out / tagged over / crossed out and replaced.

No clue why. But my instant reaction is something like – “Wait – wha, wha.. huh?”- and I pick it up. Maybe I buy it. But I at the least am sucked in.

This is the first issue I remember like that. I was sucked in.

#42 – New Mutants 39

And it was a good issue. Emma Frost, then known primarily as the White Queen, guilt stricken (sobbing with her head on the floor) and the New Mutants being victimized. They were ALWAYS being victimized, but this was a good one. It still gets referenced. Check into it.
